basically, anything we’re worried about
Do we need to understand everything?
How do we understand? How do we predict?
Reminders
Very confusing …
tipping point hypothesis: in populations all the time, but something happened to increase virulence/reduce tolerance or resistance
climate change/El Niño ?
ultraviolet radiation?
cooler temperatures? (basking etc.)
pesticides?
combination (species × temperature × U/V × pesticide × …)
